The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

[Inthestudiowithmj]

Are you able to confirm with that source if those are the words that the people on the interviews are saying?

And also a version without the sample was played at the same seminar where that higher quality recording of TYLA originates from, I'm almost certain there's a seminar recording of it which is probably circulating as we speak. The guy on the tweet gave high praises to the song saying it's got one of the best unreleased beats, if that really is true I'm very much hoping that it leaks now lol.

Apparently the lyrics are correct, but there’s no mj vocals whatsoever. There’s 3 sections of homeless people talking and that’s where the lyrics come from. Surprisingly I think that guy who has the hayvenhurst tracks may be legit

I talked with someone who had heard “homeless bound”. They said what they heard was instrumental with sections of homeless people talking.

This is what I’ve heard as well- it’s mostly instrumental with spoken sections.

Who produced Homeless Bound?

Still interested in songs like The Choice, Bubbles and the Janet duet.

Bryan Loren did. He plays the keys on the song.

Hot take here, but part of me wishes MJ had finished ES for Dangerous (replacing heal the world) and added the grit vocals at the end and blended with the falsetto voice. He woulda been nearly five years younger so I imagine the grit vocals would have been a lot stronger in 91 than they were in 95. It would have also been a good way to keep the album's sound strong as I always felt HTW slowed it down a little too much. Idk maybe I'm in the minority here.

I also always felt that SPYHO should have replaced HTW and that it should have been a charity single that he performed on tour. But this rant may just be me not being that much of a HTW fan in general lmao

IMO SYPYO should have replaced Gone Too Soon, and that song should have been a charity single and perhaps a bonus track of some kind.

Objection! It should have been "For All Time" instead of GTS.

 

[SMJJ777]

Someone Put Your Hand Out and For All Time are both amazing, beautiful songs. Both of them should have been on the album. SPYHO replacing Keep The Faith, and For All Time replacing Gone Too Soon.

Earth Song should've replaced Heal The World.

^^ TDCAU could have easily replaced Jam or wywtom. sdmw & clhga should have been replaced, too

This is what I’ve heard as well- it’s mostly instrumental with spoken sections.

If the instrumentals are really as fire as they say, I firmly believe that tracks like "Homeless Bound" and "Faces" can be used as they are within posthumous albums. At most they can be cut down to make them "interludes".

Even though they have no vocals, I think there is a certain artistic aspect in these tracks that deserves to be heard.

 

[Fuzball]

They've also given the lyrics of Homeless Bound:
"I beg for change, I will not steal or sell drugs. /See I got nothing, See I got no money, I got nothing, I got no job, I’m on the street."

I agree, it’s a really cool beat. When I first heard it at Brad’s seminars in 2019, I remember loving the percussion sound that sounds like a typewriter or a construction tool. That sound is still stuck in my head haha! I also remember there were def homeless people talking.

 

[AlwaysThere]

Very interesting! When speaking to someone about “Homeless Bound,” I got the impression that the instrumental was beat-less and more supple, something like “Childhood” or “Smile.” Given the subject matter, I’m surprised there’s a beat at all.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Pinch of salt for me with this one.

A random person saying it on twitter isn't really much to go on.

 

[SmoothCriminal1995]

It's interesting to have more knowledge on some of these songs, hopefully we hear them one day.

A Pretty Face Is, has always intrigued me as a song title. Am I getting confused here or wasn't that supposedly an unreleased duet with Stevie Wonder?

Yup, Stevie mentioned it in a magazine interview around the time “Get It” came out. If I’m not mistaken, it was written in the mid ‘70s. He and MJ were discussing recording it by the late 1980s but no other news ever came out.

 

[Derek1984]

On the subject of Stevie, did the song he submitted for Thriller ever get recorded? Or we don't know.

Thank you my friend. I knew you'd have some insight on it

 

[Fuzball]

OMG - it would be awesome if Bill would share his notes on Victory sessions


It was either mixing the OG State of Shock during Victory session
Or
A session with all the brothers and MJ at CanAm - the fam here helped me think it was Buffalo Bill

Both of these I remember as my earliest MJ session.
I could check my journals

I believe Stevie submitted another song for Thriller but wasn't chosen. Michael never gave the title of the song

Yes! In fact, RTT, WII, BOW, and every other track in the album should have been replaced with a 77-min long loop of "Bumper Snippet"

As long as it's Jason Malachi on lead vocals.

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

MJ should have replaced the Dangerous album with "Dangerous" Deluxe Edition, featuring a collection of songs guaranteed to surpass Thriller.

 

[SMJJ777]

MJ should have replaced the Dangerous album with all the Bryan Loren tracks and call it "Garbage", like the track "Garbage".

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Mj thought bumper snippet was better than some stuff on Thriller, actually.

 

[SMJJ777]

MJ said that he thought that the Verdict was better than all the songs on HIStory.

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

MJ said he thought Invincible was his best album.

 

[BlackAnon]

Michael thought The Toy was better than songs on Thriller. No joke.

Anyway, I'd love to hear Loren tracks in full HQ. I can see why he was ultimately left off Dangerous but She Got It would've worked and could've replaced Can't Let Her Get Away

She Got It is very groovy

was that snippet taken from a recording session at Hayvenhurst or Westlake?
